About This Item
London: SongsThomas MÃLean, 1826. [4] leaves + 41 hand-colored plates (including frontispiece), the margins with a pink wash. Leaf of address is present. (oblong folio) 23.5x33 cm (9ºx13"), three-quarter morocco and marbled boards, all edges gilt, gilt decorated spine. Bound by Root & Son. This is a reissue of the original 1822 edition. It has 41 rather than 43 plates by Henry Alken; it seems that given the popularity of the work the later issues were often done without a few plates. Henry T. Alken is one of the most renowned and popular of British sporting, humor and genre artists. This copy with modern bookplate of Norman and Janey Buchan. Rubbing of spine and edges, some wear to marbled boards; bookplate of John McEntee Bowman on front paste-down, foxing and repairs, small tears; very good. Tooley 37.

Michael Bond - the man behind Paddington Bear
“All the same ... it’s a very important name. And I don’t expect there are many bears in the world called Paddington!”
A lonely toy bear on an empty shop shelf on Christmas Eve in 1956 first captured the attention of Michael Bond, who kindly shared Paddington with the world.
